Winners Are Grinners!

Winners are grinners in this rather unusual photography competition. Creative photos, which showed the Tropical Flowers series of designer silk scarves in settings, which surprised and delighted, were invited.

Photographers and their models were also asked to display imaginative ways to wear scarves, the aim being to demonstrate a range of fashion or fun ideas.

The judges, a group of three Port Douglas artists, enjoyed viewing
the entries; their decision was unanimous. All three entrants were
winners!

They praised all photographers for their imaginative
treatment of the subject matter and for demonstrating a real atmosphere and
mood in their choice of settings and placement of models in the picture
(composition)...it's not as easy as they make it look! Here they are:

Michael Willis and his lovely model, Rosalind

Mareja Nae Weysenfeld and her charming model, Norlia

Colin Horton and his elegant model, Frieda

Essentially, the photographs are a team effort between the inventive ideas of both, translated into lively or thoughtful images by the skills of the photographer.

Congratulations to all six!

Rosalind enjoys the soft luxury of her colourful scarf on a windy and cloudy Port Douglas day.

Michael is a professional photographer, who specialises in sunrise and sunset panoramas. No doubt he was up well before dawn to capture spectacular tropical sunrises over the Coral Sea during his holiday here.

I did mention that 'winners are grinners', didn't I?

They are packaged up and will soon be on their way to their new owners. I do hope that they have a lot of enjoyment every time that they, or their models, wear them.

One of the prizes winging its way to each creative photographer.

SPECIAL MENTION

A photographer, who deserves a prize, but really is disqualified because she is my daughter, is Virginia. I have devoted a whole page to her lively photos of her kind and cooperative friends having fun in Cairns Botanic Gardens. Enjoy!
